National Lawmakers Condemn Killing of Lagos-based Lawyer Bolanle Raheem

Lawmakers in the House of Representatives have condemned the killing of Mrs Bolanle Raheem by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi in the Ajah area of Lagos State on Christmas Day.

The lawmaker representing Eti Osa Federal Constituency, Ibrahim Obanikoro, raised the matter as a matter of urgent public importance.

Members of the House further expressed discomfort over reports of wanton killing of Nigerians by men of the Nigeria Police.

The House is to investigate the killing of Mrs Bolanle Raheem and another young man who was allegedly killed by officers from the same police station.

Raheem was shot dead on Christmas Day by Vandi, who was attached to Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah.

The cop and his team were said to have tried to stop Raheem and her family members as they drove back home from a church service.
